Description
Summary:Abstract This paper deals with the global Mittag-Leffler synchronization of fractional-order memristive neural networks (FMNNs) with time delay. Since the FMNNs are essentially a class of switched systems with irregular switching laws, it is more difficult to achieve synchronization than with the traditional neural networks. First, under the framework of fractional-order differential inclusions and set-valued maps, the FMNNs are transformed into a continuous system with uncertainties. Then a linear state feedback combined with switching control law is designed in order to achieve the Mittag-Leffler synchronization. In addition, several synchronization criteria are obtained by constructing appropriate Lyapunov functionals, together with the help of some inequality techniques. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
